Ashley is entering the Engineering program at University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana in just a couple of weeks; Ashley's motivation to pursue engineering stems from the loss of her father to ALS several years ago, and her desire to address the needs of ALS patients as they battle the disease.  Ashley has put together an outstanding high school record of academic and extracurricular accomplishments, and her effervescent demeanor, enthusiasm, and energy should continue to serve her well as she pursues her goals in college. The Grayslake Rotary Club is proud to recognize and support outstanding achievers like Ashley, and we wish her the best in her future endeavors.
